LOS ANGELES >> As authorities declared the Colby Fire fully contained, a grand jury on Friday indicted three men for allegedly starting two illegal campfires in the Angeles National Forest. The second campfire turned into a wildfire that devoured 1,952 acres, injured six people and destroyed five homes.

Clifford Henry Jr, 22, of Glendora and transients Jonathan Jarrell, 23, and Steven Aguirre, 21, were charged with six counts.

These include two felony counts of setting fire to timber, grass, underbrush and other flammable materials in the forest by building a campfire on Jan. 15 and Jan. 16. The indictment alleged the trio aided and abetted each other and willfully setting the fire.

They were also charged with two misdemeanor counts of violating a fire restriction order by using a fire outside a recreation site in the forest on Jan. 15 and 16, a misdemeanor count of causing timber, trees, brush, and grass to burn in the forest without a permit and a misdemeanor count of causing and failing to maintain control of a fire Jan. 16 that damaged the national forest system.

Thom Mrozek, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said the suspects will be arraigned Feb. 11 in a Los Angeles federal court.

The felony charges come with a maximum sentence of five years each and three years supervised release and a fine of $250,000 or more, he said,

Mrozek said the maximum sentence is six months in prison or up to five years probation for each of the misdemeanor charges. There’s a $5,000 fine for each count.

Henry and Aguirre were still being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles.

Jarrell was also held without bail originally. Then on Wednesday, the judge approved his attorney’s request to place him in a residential treatment facility due to mental and substance abuse issues. Jarrell was supposed to be released to the facility on a $10,000 bond.

But the booking records showed he was still at the Metropolitan Detention Center on Friday.

Aguirre, Henry and Jarrell camped overnight along Colby Trail. They built a campfire Jan. 15 which they later covered up with dirt before going to sleep.

They allegedly admitted to setting a second campfire the morning of Jan. 16 because it was cold. Aguirre told investigators he noticed it was windy, the gusts were intense enough to blow away his blanket, according to court documents.

They used twigs and a notebook on the second campfire.

A U.S. Forest Service investigator said embers from that campfire ignited nearby dry grass and grew from there. The three fled and were later arrested.

Thousands of residents in Azusa and Glendora were evacuated as the Colby Fire raged.

Nathan Judy, spokesman for the Angeles National Forest, said the fire was 100 percent contained Friday.
